Revolutionizing physics Atomic clocks’ accuracy and stability have already given scientists important tools for studying earthquakes, gravitational fields and space-time.

Ultraviolet spectroscopy plays a critical role in the study of electronic transitions in atoms and rovibronic transitions in molecules. These studies are essential for tests of fundamental physics ...

However, quantum physics also allows for another kind of particle transport: The particles can also travel through the entire structure, i.e. across the entire clock dial, without being measured ...

This mind-bending physics breakthrough could redefine timekeeping Quantum effects are often used today for extremely precise measurements. But where is the absolute limit of accuracy? Results from ...

If you had to choose between accuracy vs precision, which would to take? Well, if your goal is simply to hit what you’re currently shooting at, you’d take accuracy over precision. Fortunately ...
